Boris A. Kalinikos

Boris A. Kalinikos received the M.S. degree in electrical engineering and Ph.D. degree in radio-physics from the St. Petersburg Electrotechnical University (formerly the Institute of Electrical Engineering, Leningrad), St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1969 and 1975, respectively, and the Sc.D. degree in solid-state physics from A. F. Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1985. From 1975 to 1978, he was an Assistant Professor and, from 1978 to 1987, he was an Associate Professor with the St. Petersburg Electrotechnical University. Since 1989, he has been a Professor and the Head of the Department of Electron-Ion Processing of Solids, St. Petersburg Electrotechnical University, where he teaches a variety of courses in electrical engineering and microelectronics. He has authored and coauthored over 130 papers in refereed journals, five book chapters, and numerous conference presentations. His research includes wave interactions in solids, ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectroscopy of magnetic films, microwave ferrite films, microwave devices, magnetostatic waves in thin ferromagnetic films and layered structures, spin-wave instability and spin-wave nonlinear dynamics, and spin-wave envelope solitons. Dr. Kalinikos has served as a member of organizing and program committees of numerous national and international conferences. He was the recipient of contracts and research grants from various national and international organizations such as the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, North-Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and INTAS. He was the recipient of several fellowships, in particular, the British Council Scholarship presented by the Physics Department, University of Southampton (January 1979–October 1979) and the Colorado State University Fulbright Fellowship (August 1990–January 1991). He was also the recipient of a USSR State Prize in the Field of Science in 1988.
